So I plugged in the USBs and HDMI cables into the right places, and I am 100% sure they work, but the Oculus app just has those spinning circles. The Rift isn't in device manager either.

I'm 99% it's because you're using the relic known as Windows 7. Windows 10 is a necessary evil and comes with DX 12 support.


Here are the Oculus Rift system requirements (minimum)

CPU SPEED: Info
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 8.1 or newer
VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GTX 960 4GB / AMD Radeon R9 290 or greater
Oculus Rift Recommended Requirements
CPU: Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater
CPU SPEED: Info
